Abstract

    The aim of the present research is the relationship of the organizational justice, job satisfaction and organizational commitment with the deviant behaviors among high school teachers in Isfahan. Research statistical population consists of all Isfahan high school teachers. Among them 357 people were selected randomly through stratified sampling method as the sample. Research instruments consist of organizational justice questionnaire with 36 items (Moorman & Niehoff 1996), job satisfaction questionnaire with 45 items (Smit et al, 1969), organizational commitment questionnaire with 24 items (Allen & Meyer, 1990) and deviant behaviors questionnaire with15 items (Robbinson & Bennett, 2000) ) whose factorial validity were confirmed by using confirmative-factorial analysis and their reliability was confirmed through Cronbach Alfa (0/90, 0/82, 0/86, 0/76). The data were analyzed with the use of spss₁₈ and structural equation model. Findings showed that organizational justice, job satisfaction and organizational commitment have direct and indirect effect on deviant behaviors. Organizational justice has direct and indirect effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The structural equation model supported the most direct effect of job satisfaction on deviant behaviors. Based on calculating (CIF) of 0/905 and (PCFI) of 0/696 and also (RMSEA) of 0/082, the structural equation model has appropriate goodness-of-fit.
